Happy Friday! Today I will spend the morning at school taking some finals. YAY me! Not really, I am feeling really nervous. My Computer class final is open book but there is so much info that I am not sure I will be able to finish in 2hrs. My English final is not open book but is only worth 30 points. Plus she has some extra credit on there. The problem is currently I am teetering on an A. I have a B and depending on how I do on my last essay (my Professor just needs to grade it) and my final exam, I MAY get an A. I am not going to get my hopes up because for awhile there I would have been happy making it through the class with a C. LOL! So for me almost getting an A would be fabulous! :-)



On to today's card. It is another Christmas card that I got from the SVGcuts.com website. I purchased a file that had 3 cards in it. This is the second one, I will make the last card either today or tomorrow.

Isn't it cute? Have you ever made a project that you really liked the way it turned out but was such a pain in the rump to make that you will never make anything like it again? Well that was this card. LOL! I am not sure if it was the paper I was using to cut in the Cricut or it was the Cricut itself but you see the white part with the candy canes and the peppermint candies. Well the white part was one piece that was cut and I kid you not it took me 10+ tries to get one cut. I couldn't get the speed or the pressure right on the Cricut. It either didn't cut all the way through the paper or was too deep and started ripping the paper. Finally I compromised for a bit of both. LOL! I ended up using my Xacto knife to finish cutting some of the peices out and my trusty Tombo Mono multi glue to fix the parts that ripped a bit. IT WAS A PAIN!!! That was the only part that did that no other part on that card gave me trouble. I even bought a new blade (even though my Cricut was brand new) thinking that was the problem. Anywho, I do like the way it turned out but will not be making another one.

Happy Crafting!!
